Centerline Drivers, LLC

The pay is mostly fair and they do not cheat on pay, they paid on time always and were honest with the pay, thats says something good about centerline, any one with as many years in trucking that i have can more then tell you about all the gimmicks and pay scams, but here's the sad part, they run ads on class A jobs that either they do not have to send you too, or lot of times the customer lies to centerline and asked them for a class A driver, but its a small box truck with heavy lifting carrying heavy things up flights of stairs, at my age it's not healthy. i did it, but was in lots of pain in the morning and really lot of times, it might be ok for a young person, so if your young and want to work, could be good, the pay is ok , would be good pay for a normal job. also sad news they were not honest about the jobs they had to send you to, they asked me what was i looking for and did i mind heavy lifting and carrying heavy things up stairs, I thought this guy sees how old i am he has to ask ?, so i said i am to old to do hard labour, the answer was fine no problem , so your only looking for class A truck and trailer?  i said that's right just like the adds you ran to get me in here, I stayed at each hard labor job until they could find someone and send me a different job, and kept my word, but each job was hard labour in a small box truck, carrying very heavy things up stairs, findly what happened was they sent me to a place that delivers chicken to restaurants, it was a box truck, it was heavy lifting, but it was not going up flights of stairs, what happened with that job was, the job was for 2 weeks while their driver was having a small type surgery, so after the 2 weeks, I quit centerline because they did not send me to anything they advertised they had, the place I was doing the chicken for called me at home few weeks later and asked if i could come fill in for 3 weeks for someone that had got hurt, so I did, it was ok until the end, i got paid from the guy, it was the same pay i got from centerline, but here's the funny part, when his driver came back and he did not need me anymore, he cheated on my last check that was mailed and not handed to me like the others. I was shorted something like $245 ,, crazy.. I went to his place looking for this guy a few times, but i think he was hiding in his office, any way long story short, they ended up out of business a few months later, i found out after waiting until he might think he's safe from dodging me, and it was an empty building i found , and no he did not move to dodge me, he moved cause he was all washed up in the chicken business, bummer for him, i still want the money he owes me

Centerline will lie and mislead you from the gate. Recruiting department will claim that they have several high paying assignments but as soon as you sign up they will miraculously disappear. They will entice you with jobs that pay a certain hourly wage and say u will get a guaranteed amount of paid hours each day you show up. For example they will say “if u work for customer a we guarantee you will be paid 8 hours each day you show up to work no matter what”. Then later you will be sent home by the customer due to lack of work or lack of equipment and Centerlinedrivers will claim the meant you will only get paid the full eight hours if the customer called u while you were on your way to work and told you not to come in at all, or if you showed up to work went out on a route that was less than eight hours then you would be entitled to recieve eight hours of pay. But if you show up to work on your scheduled work day at your scheduled work time clocked in on time and were placed on standby by the customer for three hours you would only be paid for the three hours even though California law states the employee must pay you gor four hours minimum. Also for whatever reanson centerline has contracted with several companies that you will only be paid for 1 hour of orientation pay even when the orientation last almost three hours. Driver managers are very rude and have nasty attitudes. If you dont play along you will be placed on punishment for a couple of weeks without pay. Several customers ask drivers to violate DOT requirements and if you complain to centerline they will act as if you are a difficult employee for trying to protect your class a Driver’s license and livelihood. Beware of this company it may hurt you more than it helps you. Remember your safety and the safety of the public that you drive around should alway be your priority, but with this company you will have to stand alone and maybe placed on the back burner in order to preserve this safety. If centerline ever tells you what customer they are trying to send you to apply directly to the company most likely they are hiring and prefer to hire directly.

I was hired under false information. They stated they were going to put me on an account that really appealed to me. They asked me to fill on another account baised off my experience and know how. I did fill for this driver so he could go on vacation with his family. I filled for a week. The driver returned back sick so I told them I would work till he was ready to come back. Tuesday was his day of return. I was off work until I called Friday morning. They placed me on an account I told them I did not want to work for due to bad information given to me about the account they wanted to place me on. I reluctantly told them I would do that because it was the only thing they had. But it would only be until something else came along. Fast forward to Monday. I show up at the account, meet with the terminal manager and was advised I would be ready to go the next day. Tuesday I arrived at the account at 10pm when i was to report. No one knew who in was, was not in their system and had no fuel card. I was then told the driver I was to switch out with was not going to be back until 2am. They assigned me to another truck. I then asked how would I be able to perform my job with no fuel card, not being able to log into their computers to access the load or use the ELD built into the system. They agreed. I went home to try again the next day. Switch out driver was supposed to be back at 10pm. I called at 9pm to ask for an ETA, they advised me the truck will be back at midnight...

If your thinking about working for centerline drivers out of San Antonio proceed with caution. The dispatch, managers and HR were nice and did not lie to me. They just did not have any work for me.

Hired on in July for a Class A job as temp to hire.  The company did hire me after I raised enough complaints about how poor Centerline communicated important information to me concerning driver compliance.   They would tell me my medical card was expired when it was valid for over a year more.  Also their app and website to which you upload stuff is like being stuck in a loop.  You upload any needed documents, send them but they never get anything.   Also they hit you up on your day off to do a random drug test in which you then have only 60 mins to get to the facility, or they consider it a failed/refused test and job abandonment.   Heaven forbid you are out of town.  Many of the dispatchers are outsourced in India and cannot speak any English.  Benefit website is always down and never once in two months was I able to log on and get any information about anything.  If I didn't threaten to quit with the hiring company,  I would have had to deal with Centerlines incompetence.  To any trucking company, do not use them for hiring as they will stress out any good reliable drivers. 



I worked on their Aldi account in Tully and also Moreno Valley. The pay is good and it’s paid travel, hotel and rental. I don’t know many trucking companies that would do that so it a plus if you enjoy travel. You load trucks yourself and you unload yourself .You will work most evening shifts and every weekend with this account. I want to be honest so people know what they are getting into when they decide to come here, it can take you an hour maybe more to load and unload depending on the circumstances, when I worked at the Tully DC we did one run and here in Cali you do multiple runs and have to move quickly by their standards, it has been an experience to say the least and I can say that I now know how to load and unload groceries. It’s not for everyone. Some people like it and some don’t, but they certainly don’t get you another assignment if you are uncomfortable with the one you are at I don’t recall them ever calling and asking if it was going ok. I will probably never work for them again once my assignment is done. Like I said it was an experience and I will leave it at that.

This company has no concern for their employees.  You have No support from Management.  Only thing their concerned about is Getting back at their competition & gaining their employees.  Management does not reach out to check on the employees to see how they are doing if they need any support or just to say we appreciate you. Only time you hear from Management is if they need you to do them a favor or you missed something by 1 number. This company is going g down fast. They are loosing valuable employees that has been here over 10yrs because of Management & the culture.  They discriminate in regards to pay. If you're not one of the favorite then you do not get the assistance or pay you deserve for the job you do. The have multiple people doing triple duty & it's burning the employees out. They hire people with No Experience in Recruiting & Pay them more than the tenure employees.  
If you want to be happy & treated fairly,  equally & appreciated.  Do not work for this company as a Driver or Not. They do not care about the Drivers or In House

I don’t have any real complaints here. I have been assigned 3 different locations/companies and while it was a bit bumpy and a long wait in between 2 of them, the 3rd location seems to be a good fit with decent pay. I can always reach someone in management/admin, as well as payroll, and they are quick to pay each week, even when I forget to turn in my time sheet on-time. Only a few locations/clients use the web-based portal to enter work hours, which makes it so much easier than the regular PDF/email route. **be sure and ask how long your temp contract is at the start! I wrongly assumed it was the typical 60 or 90 day (~500 hours) contract and now that my company wants to hire me full-time (Union pay & benefits!), I discovered I’m in a 6 month contract and my company doesn’t want to pay the high fee to buy my contract, so I just have to grind another 3 months before getting hired by the client and getting those *much better* benefits and pay. So, ask ahead of time! 

Job Work/Life Balance : I am able to do my job without the interfearience of company politics! & flexibility of personal time when needed!

Compensation/Benefits: None!!! your paid for the job at hand flat line! you agree to the contract, complete the contract, & move no to  the next Job! No bells whistles or Confetti.

Job Security/Advancement: None!!! your security is your availability, No advancements but building a great rep of customer service & getting more contracts.


Management: There cool, they have a job to do, you have a contract to fill, you do your part, they have your back, everybody happy! Its business never personal.


Job Culture: Your really your own contractor, so to be more successful, you must be well rounded & professionally diversified to be an excellent team player

I've worked for other agencies who said they could get me trucking jobs but never did.  At other agencies i would always only be stuck in the warehouse and cleaning bathrooms.  With Centerline i got setup with a real trucking company that eventually hired me on as a permanent employee.  

Also alot of trucking companies i've worked for don't care about the tickets i got for being overweight.  Centerline does and they make sure i am able to keep my record clean..    they are genuine nice people.

they also were only agency that asked me if i wanted to get paid hourly or mile and if i wanted to be OTR or local.  they actually listened when i was talking about other companies and managers i had issues with.  i got paid weekly which was great.  other trucking companies and agencies i work for weren't honest about how much i was earning or when i would be paid.

This company is full of dirty cut throat recruiters who would say and do anything to get what they want from you while caring nothing about you. If they ever try to place you at a job that you just feel isn't a good fit for you they will quickly take you off their active list and leave you hanging. I worked with Kimberly and she is worst than dealing with a spoiled child. I complained about her dishonest, pushy, saleman style tactics and only dealt with a manager who was only concerned about protecting her. They obviously have a close untouchable team who is protected from any complaint and will instead remove you. 

I would not reccomend this company to anyone. And don't be fooled by their misleading ads, THEY ARE NOT A TRUCKING COMPANY AND ARE ONLY A RECRUITING FIRM. BEWARE!
